5 Quantum Theory and the Photoelectric Effect
Max Planck s Quantum Theory Measurements show amount of energy emitted by an object at a certain temperature is directly related to its wavelength 6 Theorized that the energy must be in discrete amounts. May be in multiples of these discrete amounts E = h, E = 2h, E = 3h Called the smallest amount of energy a Quantum: Planck s constant: h = 6.63 X 10-34 J s Didn t know why, but math worked over entire spectrum
Einstein and the Photoelectric Effect Experiment to prove why E= h Full spectrum light hits metal surface Energy transferred to electrons in metal Electrons break free and escape to anode Flow of electrons recorded with voltmeter 7 Results Light energy must have a certain threshold frequency to dislodge electrons Light energy has wave properties: E = h Light energy as a particle: E= KE electron + w (work needed to dislodge electrons) These particles of light later called photons

Bohr s Hydrogen Atom Niels Bohr (1913): Electron energy (E n ) was quantized Only certain specified values allowed Stable levels called energy levels Photon moves from 1 level to another 13 The energy of each stable orbit E n = R H /n 2 n is the quantum number of the level integers only, 1,2 3.. Proportionality constant R H Rydberg constant R H = 2.18 X 10-18 J
Energy Level Calculations All calculations done by comparing energy levels Electron moves between levels E =R H (1/n i2 1/n f2 ) 14 Energy emitted or absorbed High to low level energy released (-) Low to high level energy absorbed (+) Ground state: The lowest possible energy level Excited state: All other levels

Quantum Numbers 16
Quantum Numbers and Atomic Orbitals 17 Atomic orbital A region in space with a high probability of finding an electron. Identified by 4 quantum numbers. Four Quantum Numbers 1. The principal quantum number (n) 2. The angular momentum quantum number (l) 3. The magnetic quantum number (m l ) 4. The electron spin quantum number (m s )
The Principal Quantum Number (n) Restricted to the positive integers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 Indicates the shell or level of the orbital 18 Indicates the size of the orbital Integers correspond to row numbers in periodic table n=1 n=2 n=3
19 The Angular Momentum Quantum Number (l) Indicates orbital shape Designation: s, p, d or f Designates the subshell Values range from 0 to n-1 level 0 1 2 3 Name s p d f l= 0 are called s orbitals Spherical l = 1 are called p orbitals 2 teardrops joined at center I= 2 are d orbitals l= 3 are f orbitals.
The Magnetic Quantum Number (m l ): Determines the orientation in space of the orbitals Integers from -l to +l 20 Determines the number of orbitals in a subshell The number of possible values for m l = 2l + 1 l = 1 # values = 3 Range: -1 to 1 m l -1 0 1
Electron Spin Quantum Number (m s ) 21 A magnetic field is induced by the moving electric charge of the electron as it spins Spins cancel one another No net magnetic field for the pair Allows 2 electrons to occupy 1 orbital Designation two values: +1/2 and 1/2
Quantum Numbers Summary 22
Electron Configurations 23 The energy of an electron is defined by both n and l Principle shells n = 1,2, 3, 4 or 5 Subshells l = 0, 1, 2, or 3 depends on n s p d orbitals present (f subshell not shown)

Hund s Rule and the Aufbau Principle Hund's rule: Electrons in the same subshell occupy degenerate orbitals singly, before pairing Oxygen, O Z = 8 2 2 2 1 1 1s 2s 2 px 2 py 2 pz 26 The Aufbau Principle: Electron configuration of each element is based on the electron configuration of the element just before it in the periodic table. (Z = 1) H 1s 1 (Z = 2) He 1s 2 (Z = 3) Li 1s 2 2s 1
Magnetism in Multi-electron Atoms +1/2 & -1/2 spins will cancel if electrons paired No magnetic properties without spin present # unpaired electrons proportional to magnetic properties 27 Diamagnetic All electrons paired Ne: 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 Paramagnetic At least 1 unpaired electron Na: 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 1
Exceptions To The Aufbau Principle Elements will fill out a lower energy subshell when possible Cr and Cu fill out their 3d shell before the 4s shell. Elements in the same family as Cr &Cu behave in same way. 28
